RBS kicking it with cool kids in Hackney
LONDON Fields is better known for hipster peacocking than finance but it seems RBS chief exec Ross McEwan has taken a shine to the place – well, more specifically trendy tech workspace The Trampery.
The banking boss is holding a press conference there today, having already appeared there in October, pulling finance hacks out of their comfort zones in the City to the heart of Hackney. It seems a curious choice – made even more mysterious by the invite, which only revealed the location once you were accredited.
But the bank says it’s simple, The Trampery is a client and RBS is keen to be seen in a customer environment. We’d still like to see McEwan in a pair of black framed specs and skinny jeans.
